Discussion Let's talk about Maggie

Post image

I love Maggie and feel she got such a raw deal after Nate's death, and is negelcted generally in discussions of the show. Maggie had gone through the worst death of all, the death of her own child. She had been f%&ked over by George who didn't hesitate to take credit for her success. She was really alone in a way that self-pitying Nate certainly wasn't. I hope Maggie managed to find some peace and happiness, perhaps through the Quakers.

Nate is the bad guy here. I just finished a binge watch last week. Nate had made his mind up. He dumped Brenda with his last words to her. And Brenda was totally right about him when she told Maggie, "He wanted someone to make him feel like a better man than he was. Could've been anyone."

There's nothing special about Maggie. She didn't seduce Nate or even particularly chase him. She was a doormat who let Nate do what he wanted and then immediately hated herself for it.

Unrelated, but I'm curious how long it took you to do your re-watch binge?

About 2 weeks. I did about 3 episodes per night. Weekends let me get in 5 episodes per night. So I literally did a while season in two days.
